1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

The present study evaluated the antibacterial activity and the synergy of the sanguisorbigenin (SGB) from the dried root of Sanguisorba officinalis L. combined with β-lactam antibiotics against methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus. A total of six strains of reference strain and clinical isolates were used to determine the antibacterial activity using a broth microdilution assay, and the synergistic effects were determined using a checkerboard assay. To analyse the mechanism of synergy, we conducted the level of penicillin-binding protein 2a by western blot. In addition, quantitative RT-PCR was performed to analyse the mecA gene expression. The minimal inhibitory concentration values of SGB against six strains of S. aureus were in the range of 12·5-50 μg ml
